Farmers and residents to hold peaceful protest over irrigation cuts in Chrysochous valley
Farmers and residents of the Chrysochous valley have announced a peaceful demonstration on Sunday, September 13, 2026, to protest the ongoing interruption of irrigation water and its severe impact on both agriculture and the environment. The protest, starting at 10:30 am near the petrol station on the Polis Chrysochous-Paphos road, will feature farmers with tractors seeking urgent government intervention.
Despite multiple meetings with the Water Development Department and other authorities, organizers say no permanent solution has been found to secure water supplies for this vital agricultural region. The Chrysochous valley, known for its rich crops and lush natural landscape, risks irreversible damage if the issue is not addressed promptly.
Farmers emphasize that the problem threatens not only their livelihoods but the ecological character of the valley itself. By staging this demonstration, they aim to send a firm message to the government and responsible bodies calling for a definitive and institutionalized solution to the irrigation crisis.
